  • Ps 7:1-9 : 1 A musical composition by David, which he sang to the LORD concerning a Benjaminite named Cush. O LORD my God, in you I have taken shelter. Deliver me from all who chase me! Rescue me! 2 Otherwise they will rip me to shreds like a lion; they will tear me to bits and no one will be able to rescue me. 3 O LORD my God, if I have done what they say, or am guilty of unjust actions, 4 or have wronged my ally, or helped his lawless enemy, 5 may an enemy relentlessly chase me and catch me; may he trample me to death and leave me lying dishonored in the dust.(Selah) 6 Stand up angrily, LORD! Rise up with raging fury against my enemies! Wake up for my sake and execute the judgment you have decreed for them! 7 The countries are assembled all around you; take once more your rightful place over them! 8 The LORD judges the nations. Vindicate me, LORD, because I am innocent, because I am blameless, O Exalted One! 9 May the evil deeds of the wicked come to an end! But make the innocent secure, O righteous God, you who examine inner thoughts and motives! 10 The Exalted God is my shield, the one who delivers the morally upright. 11 God is a just judge; he is angry throughout the day. 12 If a person does not repent, God will wield his sword. He has prepared to shoot his bow. 13 He has prepared deadly weapons to use against him; he gets ready to shoot flaming arrows. 14 See the one who is pregnant with wickedness, who conceives destructive plans, and gives birth to harmful lies– 15 he digs a pit and then falls into the hole he has made. 16 He becomes the victim of his own destructive plans and the violence he intended for others falls on his own head. 17 I will thank the LORD for his justice; I will sing praises to the LORD Most High!
  • Ps 86:1-9 : 1 A prayer of David. Listen O LORD! Answer me! For I am oppressed and needy. 2 Protect me, for I am loyal! You are my God; deliver your servant who trusts in you! 3 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I cry out to you all day long! 4 Make your servant glad, for to you, O Lord, I pray! 5 Certainly O Lord, you are kind and forgiving, and show great faithfulness to all who cry out to you. 6 O LORD, hear my prayer! Pay attention to my plea for mercy! 7 In my time of trouble I cry out to you, for you will answer me. 8 None can compare to you among the gods, O Lord! Your exploits are incomparable! 9 All the nations, whom you created, will come and worship you, O Lord. They will honor your name. 10 For you are great and do amazing things. You alone are God. 11 O LORD, teach me how you want me to live! Then I will obey your commands. Make me wholeheartedly committed to you! 12 O Lord, my God, I will give you thanks with my whole heart! I will honor your name continually! 13 For you will extend your great loyal love to me, and will deliver my life from the depths of Sheol. 14 O God, arrogant men attack me; a gang of ruthless men, who do not respect you, seek my life. 15 But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and merciful God. You are patient and demonstrate great loyal love and faithfulness. 16 Turn toward me and have mercy on me! Give your servant your strength! Deliver this son of your female servant! 17 Show me evidence of your favor! Then those who hate me will see it and be ashamed, for you, O LORD, will help me and comfort me.
  • Ps 90:1-9 : 1 Book 4(Psalms 90-106) A prayer of Moses, the man of God. O Lord, you have been our protector through all generations! 2 Even before the mountains came into existence, or you brought the world into being, you were the eternal God. 3 You make mankind return to the dust, and say,“Return, O people!” 4 Yes, in your eyes a thousand years are like yesterday that quickly passes, or like one of the divisions of the nighttime. 5 You bring their lives to an end and they“fall asleep.” In the morning they are like the grass that sprouts up; 6 in the morning it glistens and sprouts up; at evening time it withers and dries up. 7 Yes, we are consumed by your anger; we are terrified by your wrath. 8 You are aware of our sins; you even know about our hidden sins. 9 Yes, throughout all our days we experience your raging fury; the years of our lives pass quickly, like a sigh. 10 The days of our lives add up to seventy years, or eighty, if one is especially strong. But even one’s best years are marred by trouble and oppression. Yes, they pass quickly and we fly away. 11 Who can really fathom the intensity of your anger? Your raging fury causes people to fear you. 12 So teach us to consider our mortality, so that we might live wisely. 13 Turn back toward us, O LORD! How long must this suffering last? Have pity on your servants! 14 Satisfy us in the morning with your loyal love! Then we will shout for joy and be happy all our days! 15 Make us happy in proportion to the days you have afflicted us, in proportion to the years we have experienced trouble! 16 May your servants see your work! May their sons see your majesty! 17 May our sovereign God extend his favor to us! Make our endeavors successful! Yes, make them successful!
